Graph fibrations, graph isomorphism, and PageRank

Paolo Boldi, Violetta Lonati, Massimo Santini, Sebastiano Vigna (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

PageRank is a ranking method that assigns scores to web pages using the limit distribution of a random walk on the web graph. A fibration of graphs is a morphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. We show that a deep connection relates fibrations and Markov chains with restart, a particular kind of Markov chains that include the PageRank one as a special case. This fact provides constraints on the...

Guided Local Search for query reformulation using weight propagation

Issam Moghrabi (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A new technique for query reformulation that assesses the relevance of retrieved documents using weight propagation is proposed. The technique uses a Guided Local Search (GLS) in conjunction with the latent semantic indexing model (to semantically cluster documents together) and Lexical Matching (LM). The GLS algorithm is used to construct a minimum spanning tree that is later employed in the reformulation process. The computations done for Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), LM and the minimum...

Image retrieval based on hierarchical Gabor filters

Tomasz Andrysiak, Michal Choraś (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is now a widely investigated issue that aims at allowing users of multimedia information systems to automatically retrieve images coherent with a sample image. A way to achieve this goal is the computation of image features such as the color, texture, shape, and position of objects within images, and the use of those features as query terms. We propose to use Gabor filtration properties in order to find such appropriate features. The article presents multichannel...

Implementation of directed acyclic word graph

Miroslav Balík (2002)

Kybernetika

An effective implementation of a Directed Acyclic Word Graph (DAWG) automaton is shown. A DAWG for a text T is a minimal automaton that accepts all substrings of a text T , so it represents a complete index of the text. While all usual implementations of DAWG needed about 30 times larger storage space than was the size of the text, here we show an implementation that decreases this requirement down to four times the size of the text. The method uses a compression of DAWG elements, i. e. vertices,...

Inf-datalog, modal logic and complexities

Eugénie Foustoucos, Irène Guessarian (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Inf-Datalog extends the usual least fixpoint semantics of Datalog with greatest fixpoint semantics: we defined inf-Datalog and characterized the expressive power of various fragments of inf-Datalog in [16]. In the present paper, we study the complexity of query evaluation on finite models for (various fragments of) inf-Datalog. We deduce a unified and elementary proof that global model-checking (i.e. computing all nodes satisfying a formula in a given structure) has 1. quadratic data complexity...

Knowledge bases and automorphic equivalence of multi-models versus linear spaces and graphs

Marina Knyazhansky, Tatjana Plotkin (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

The paper considers an algebraic notion of automorphic equivalence of models and of multi-models. It is applied to the solution of the problem of informational equivalence of knowledge bases. We show that in the case of linear subjects of knowledge the problem can be reduced to the well-known in computational group theory problems about isomorphism and conjugacy of subgroups of a general linear group.
